Associations between mental health, blood pressure and the development of hypertension
Mental and cardiovascular health interact in complex ways. Here, the authors demonstrate an association of blood pressure with depressive symptoms, well-being, and emotion-related brain activity that may be relevant to the development of hypertension.

Key considerations to reduce or address respondent burden in patient-reported outcome (PRO) data collection
The collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) may capture patients’ assessments of their health status. Here authors highlight PRO-specific issues that should be considered to minimise respondent burden in clinical trials and routine care.

Pushing the limits of remote RF sensing by reading lips under the face mask
This study aims to solve the fundamental limitations of camera-based systems by proposing a contactless and privacy-preserving radio frequency-based lip-reading framework, which can recognise lip movements under face masks.

Spelling interface using intracortical signals in a completely locked-in patient enabled via auditory neurofeedback training
The authors record neural firing rates in a patient with ALS in completely locked-in state and show that the patient can modulate neural firing rates based on auditory feedback to select letters to form words and phrases to communicate his needs and experiences.

Human activity recognition using magnetic induction-based motion signals and deep recurrent neural networks
Designing reliable, scalable and energy efficient sensor-based activity recognition system remains a challenge. Here, the authors demonstrate low power wearable wireless network system based on magnetic induction which is integrated with deep recurrent neural networks for human activity recognition.

First-in-human robotic supermicrosurgery using a dedicated microsurgical robot for treating breast cancer-related lymphedema: a randomized pilot trial
Reconstructive microsurgery is limited by the precision that human hands can achieve. Here, the authors demonstrate in a randomized clinical pilot trial the feasibility of robot-assisted supermicrosurgery using a dedicated microsurgical robot for the completion of lymphatico-venous anastomosis in the treatment of breast cancer-related lymphedema
